"What?" Dustin frowned when Florence's gaze swept toward him. "Why are you looking at me? Are you telling me to be the scapegoat? What the fuck?" he thought. "Dustin …" Florence forced a smile. She took an apple out of her fruit basket and handed it to Dustin. "Aren't you hungry? Here, have an apple.""What are you trying to do?" Dustin looked at her warily. It only raised suspicions more with Florence going out of her way to be kind to him."Well, you heard what we said, didn't you?" Florence forced out a sweet, kind smile. "You've always been a kind person. I'm sure you can't bear to see us lose our money like this, so I hope you can do us a favor.""What favor?" Dustin had his guard up. "Don't you know a few rich women? Why don't you help us sell off those abandoned buildings?""You're asking me to scam people for you?" Dustin raised an eyebrow. "How could you say that?" Florence feigned innocence. "We're not deceiving anyone; we're simply repurposing waste. Those wealthy people

Florence was sure that Dustin was merely refusing to help them.Just then, Julie thought of an idea and said, "Dustin, didn't you say that those buildings are worth a lot? We'll sell them to you right now so that you can make a lot of money. What do you think?""That's right!" Florence echoed. "You should buy them since you seem so interested. That'll benefit both of us.""This is your opportunity. How could I take it away from you?" Dustin refused politely. "It's alright. We're a family. We'll be happy if you make money too." Florence coaxed enthusiastically, gleeful to have found a scapegoat."She's right, Dustin. Don't worry about it. You shouldn't miss such a great opportunity.""Exactly. Just remember to treat us to a meal when you get rich." Everyone smiled so sweetly and acted extremely enthusiastically after finding such a dumb scapegoat. "Are you sure you want to sell them to me?" Dustin pressed."Of course! We won't take a single penny from you. We just want you to return

"Oh, Dustin. You sure are stupid. How can you treasure such worthless buildings?" Florence grinned smugly. At first, she thought she had wasted all her money, but God blessed them by sending them a scapegoat. "Thanks, Dustin, or else we'd be doomed." Florence grinned. "You're such a saint, Dustin. I must say, I'm impressed!" James exclaimed delightedly and gave the other man a thumbs-up."Remember to treat us to a meal once you've made your fortune." Victoria mocked. They had been unfortunate to be swindled by Terrence, but they found someone to take the fall. It was their stroke of luck, or they would have lost all their money."I hope you don't come to regret your decision." Dustin wore a meaningful smile."Regret?" They exchanged amused glances and laughed even louder. How could Dustin still not know that something was wrong? An idiot like him deserved to be scammed."Dustin, what on earth are you thinking? You shouldn't be so reckless even if you have some money, right?" Dahli

"I heard that Mr. Robinson was hurt. Of course, I had to visit." Ruby placed her gifts by Mr. Robinson's bedside and explained. "These are supplements for you. I wish you a speedy recovery.""Thank you." Abigail nodded her head in gratitude."I forgot to introduce you to my mom." Ruby gestured to the woman next to her."Nice to meet you, Mrs. Xenos." Abigail nodded in greeting."Hello." Mrs. Xenos nodded with a smile."You're here too?" Ruby was surprised to see Dustin. "The Doyle family didn't bother you, did they?""No." Dustin shook his head. He couldn't care less about them anyway."Mom, this is the guy who helped me in the bar last time." Ruby smiled."Really? Well, thank you very much." Mrs. Xenos smiled politely."It was nothing." Dustin's gaze suddenly turned serious. "Mrs. Xenos, may I know if you've been feeling dizzy lately?""How did you know?" Mrs. Xenos was astonished."I could tell since I know a bit of medicine," Dustin explained. "I see …" Mrs. Xenos nodded. "You're r
An Understated Dominance Chapter 545
"Mom!" Ruby was shocked when Mrs. Xenos suddenly fainted. She quickly helped her up and tried to wake her up while crying for help. However, her mother remained completely unresponsive. "Where's the doctor?" Ruby carried Mrs. Xenos on her back and ran back into the hospital. A bunch of doctors and nurses heard her pleas and quickly came over to perform first aid. An hour later, at the entrance of the emergency room. "Ruby!" A suited man ran over, accompanied by several bodyguards."Dad! You're finally here!" Ruby was so relieved to see him. "Mom suddenly fainted just now, and they're still trying to resuscitate her, but the doctor said that things weren't looking good and even asked me to sign a do-not-resuscitate order.""Why did she suddenly faint?" George Xenos frowned. "I don't know either. She was completely fine earlier." Ruby looked nervous as well. "Hurry! Go to Garrison Hospital and bring Dr. Alden immediately!" George ordered the bodyguard closest to him."Yes, Sir!" Hi

"Okay!" Without wasting any more time, Ruby took her phone out to give Dustin a call, and she briefly told him what had happened. "I'll be there right away." Dustin ended the call and rushed over to the hospital.By the time he reached, Ruby's mother had already been transferred to the VIP ward. Although she was no longer in critical danger, she remained unconscious. When Dustin entered the ward, he noticed that there was quite a small crowd gathered there. Most of them were doctors, and some were bodyguards."Dustin! You're here!" Ruby's face lit up with hope when she saw him."Is this the miracle doctor that you mentioned, Ruby?" As George looked Dustin up and down, he unconsciously frowned. This man was much younger than he'd thought. How medically skilled could a man in his twenties be?"Don't judge a book by its cover, Dad! Dustin might be young, but he's really good at what he does! It only took him a glance and he knew what was wrong with Mom." Ruby assured."Forgive me for bei

"S—she's awake?" Everyone was amazed to see that Mrs. Xenos had come around, and they stared at her wide-eyed with disbelief. Nobody had ever thought that this young man would be able to cure Mrs. Xenos of something that even Dr. Alden found impossible. And he managed to do so with just several needles! The entire process had been nothing special and was just plain old needling techniques, but it was exactly because of how simple everything had been that they found it shocking."H—how is this possible?" Dr. Alden was completely blown away by what he just witnessed. That was cerebral congestion, and she had been diagnosed as a vegetative patient, for goodness sake! It was such a complicated condition, and he managed to cure her with just several needles? He must be joking!"She's awake! She's awake! Mom's awake!" It took Ruby a while to register that her mother was finally awake, but when she snapped back to her senses, she jumped with joy. She had been utterly devastated when she got t
An Understated Dominance Chapter 548
Dr. Alden did not hesitate to invite Dustin to join them. His medical skills were truly miraculous, to say the least. It was amazing how he could bring someone from the brink of death back to consciousness with just several needles. Had it not been for his ego, Dr. Alden would have asked Dustin to be his mentor."I have no such plans yet. We'll see when the opportunity arises." Dustin rejected him nicely. Then, without anyone asking, he quickly scribbled down a prescription and handed it to Ruby. "Remember to make sure that your mother takes her medications on time. She'll have to take them for about a month, and she'll be alright.""Thank you, Dustin!" Ruby beamed brightly at him."I have other plans, so I'll take my leave now." Dustin did not stay there much longer and left the hospital soon after. As he left the hospital, Dustin was suddenly reminded that he had yet to change Natasha's wound dressing today, so he hailed a cab and headed straight for the Harmon estate.…In the Harm

"So what if I am? And what if I push even further?" Dustin's smile slowly faded. "If you don't like it, do something about it."There was no reasoning with tyrants like Warrick."Punk, are you really willing to risk your life against me? Have you ever considered what happens if you lose?" Warrick's face turned grim as a wave of killing intent spread from him.He had already taken a step back to avoid unnecessary trouble. If Dustin refused to back down, there was no choice but to fight."Cut the crap. You wanna fight, fight." Dustin didn't bother with more words. With a flick of his wrist, a silver needle shot out and aimed toward Warrick's forehead—silent, unassuming, but deadly."Hmm?" Warrick's brow furrowed as he instinctively raised his arm. Sparks flew as the needle deflected off his arm and buried into the ground."Oh? You've mastered the Adamantine Body Technique?" Dustin narrowed his eyes. At that instant, he saw through Warrick's technique. Not only was he halfway

Mulder's body trembled, and he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. His energy drained, and his entire being seemed to collapse.Dustin's finger flick had not only shattered his sword but also injured his internal organs. With the effects of the enhanced serum wearing off, Mulder was now back to his original state and completely spent.His once-powerful frame now shrank like a punctured balloon. He looked as if he had aged ten years in an instant. Mulder could no longer fight. Even standing up was a challenge."He's finished," Dustin said coolly, then looked at Warrick. "Now it's your turn.""Hmm?" Warrick frowned, and his expression turned serious.Dustin's display of strength earlier had made him feel a sense of crisis. If they fought head-on, there was no telling who would come out on top.But Warrick was just one step away from escaping West Lucozia, bound for Artea and a life of freedom and luxury. He had no intention of risking his life in battle unless he absolutely

"This is interesting." Dustin smirked as the dense barrage of swords came slashing down at him. In the blink of an eye, his figure dissolved into a wisp of smoke and vanished.A storm of sword shadows carrying the force that could split rivers and overturn seas crashed down on the fishing boat where he had just been standing. The entire vessel broke apart in an instant—some sinking into the depths while others drifted across the water."What? He dodged it?" Warrick's eyes flickered with surprise.Mulder's attack just now had been a 360-degree attack. Once caught in its range, there was no chance to dodge—only the option to endure. He couldn't understand how Dustin had managed to avoid it. Did he just teleport?"Hiding like a coward? What kind of warrior are you? Come fight me face-to-face."Frustrated after his attack missed again, Mulder grew desperate. His enhanced serum would only last for 15 minutes. If this dragged on, he'd collapse from exhaustion before Dustin even touche

"Oh? Are we going all out now?" Dustin smirked, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.Mulder, who had advanced to become a grandmaster martial artist through drugs, had a weak foundation. Even after taking the enhanced serum, he still posed no threat to Dustin. If Mulder were a hundred times stronger, he might just barely be able to fight Dustin.As the serum's effects pushed his body to the limit, Mulder suddenly let out a furious roar. His muscles swelled rapidly, and his bones cracked as they expanded. His body grew larger at an alarming rate, and his clothes tore apart under the strain.His six-foot frame stretched to nearly seven feet in mere moments as his body swelled to monstrous proportions. His face twisted fiercely, and his skin darkened as black scales surfaced.With another guttural growl, his roar turned beastlike. He grabbed his shredded shirt and ripped it away, exposing his broad chest covered in dark scales. A faint, eerie sheen flickered across their surface."D

Dustin's words made Mulder frown.Mulder knew all too well that Warrick was the kind of man who had no sense of loyalty or honor. If Warrick could kill his own personal guards without hesitation, what would stop him from killing a stranger? Mulder was certain that the moment things went south, Warrick would be the first to flee. Given the choice, he'd never willingly risk his life as Warrick's sacrificial pawn. But now, there was no turning back.With his undercover identity exposed and him helping Warrick escape, Mulder became a sworn enemy of West Lucozia. His name was now on the most-wanted list.Tonight was their best chance to escape. If they missed it, finding another way out would be nearly impossible.There was only one path left for him—kill whoever stood in his way and make it onto that escape boat."Enough talk, punk. Let's see what you're really made of," Mulder said.After weighing his options, he gritted his teeth and finally decided to draw his longsword. His fig

"You had your chance. Don't blame me for what happens next," Dustin said.With a slight squeeze of his fingers, the steel blades clamped between them shattered with a sharp clang.Before the two Hall of Gods members could even react, Dustin waved his hand.The two men were sent flying as if they'd been hit by a truck, hurtling over 30 feet through the air. Blood sprayed from their mouths and noses before they hit the ground. They were critically injured and on the verge of death.Dustin slowly turned his head and looked at the man who had just tried to ambush him.The man glanced at the broken sword in his hand, then at Dustin, who looked utterly unfazed. He hesitated for a split second—then bolted.With a powerful leap, he dove straight for the sea. He knew Dustin's strength was on a completely different level. There was no chance of outrunning him on land, so the only hope was to disappear into the water.It might have worked—if not for what happened next.Just before he hit

"You're not a fisherman? Who the hell are you?"Mulder's guard shot up the moment he got a clear look at the young man's face.Fishermen who spent their days at sea were usually tanned from the sun, but this one had a fair complexion. It felt a little strangeNoticing something was off, the men behind Mulder drew their blades and fixed their sharp gazes on the fisherman.The so-called fisherman standing guard wasn't just anyone—it was Dustin, who had been waiting for them all along.Since his plan was set in motion, he'd been stationed there from morning until midnight. After what felt like an eternity, his targets had finally arrived."Isn't it obvious? I'm here to capture you."Dustin rose from the deck and rolled his shoulders before speaking in an even tone. "If you don't want to die, surrender now. Otherwise, it'll be too late.""Watch out! It could be an ambush." Mulder swiftly pulled out his dagger. His sharp gaze scanned the surroundings for any sign of hidden troops.

As night fell, Warrick sat motionless in his room as he tried to calm his mind through meditation. He had always been able to clear his mind with ease. But tonight, no matter how hard he tried, focus eluded him. A restless unease settled over him and refused to let him relax.Nearly two hours passed before Mulder's scouts finally returned. This time, they brought good news.The smuggling route they had scouted was completely safe, with no signs of an ambush. The West Lucozia army had yet to discover this potential escape route.Once everything was confirmed, Mulder let out a breath of relief. Warrick, too, finally felt the weight lift from his chest."Since the route is safe, we should set out immediately to avoid any unexpected complications." Warrick said. He had no intention of waiting any longer. He was a wanted man, and every moment in West Lucozia increased his chances of capture. There was no telling when the army might surround him. Only by escaping to Thaloria would he

After a hearty meal, the burly Warrick sprawled lazily onto the bed and dozed off. He slept soundly till dusk, lost in a deep dream. When the sky was painted in brilliant hues of the setting sun, only then did he wake up leisurely.The exhaustion from the previous day seemed to have melted away. He felt invigorated, refreshed, and in high spirits.At that moment, Leigh had already set the table in the hall with quiet efficiency. Compared to the first meal, this spread was far more lavish.At the center of the table sat a whole roasted pig. Its golden-brown skin glistened with a rich, crispy sheen. The mouthwatering aroma filled the room, making it impossible not to crave a bite.Warrick had never been one for formalities. The moment he saw the feast, he didn't hesitate. He strode over, took a seat, and started digging in. He ate with zero restraint without sparing a single thought for Mulder, who was still out gathering intel.After a while, half of the roast pig was gone. His fac
